Have you tried a ping from win98 machine to another win98 machine? If that works I think that you can eliminate the Norton PF blocking at the win98 end and concentrate on the routing from SuSE to win98. Peter On Tuesday 16 April 2002 7:47 am, you wrote:

Not stupid, quite relevant. I forgot to mention this to the new participants in this thread. I have no firewall running on SuSE 7.3. On the Win 98 SE machines, I have Norton Personal Firewall setup on all three. Unfortunately, Norton PF for Win is quite different in its fomat than for Mac, which is what I am most familiar with. As I have no problems in Win 2k and I do not make changes on the other computers when I boot into SuSE ;-) I can only assume that there either is a general SuSE networking setup problem that I am experiencing, or it most likely has something to do with ping and smbclien not being able to penetrate Norton PF. Unfortunately, I don't know how to reconfigure the Win version properly.
